Jose Mourinho: John Terry’s England future ‘not my problem’

Terry, who retired from international football last September after being stripped of the captaincy for a second time, has been linked with a return to the England side ahead of next summer’s World Cup.

Several figures in the game and the media have called for boss Roy Hodgson to request Terry rethink his position, with England struggling for a solid centre-back pairing and the 32-year-old enjoying his best form in several years.

But when asked whether he felt Terry should be asked to return to international football, Mourinho insisted he was not interested in the situation.

But the Chelsea captain has started every Premier League game this season since Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge and has been a commanding figure in the Blues’ back-line, with a string of fine performances.
